The culture war is the statist's strongest tool to distract Americans from the damage that he does to the economic and foreign policy.
The "culture war" like most wars is just bullshit that's used to justify government violence.
Be a part of the cultural ceasefire.
Live and let live.
Show respect for one another.
Enjoy the free market of expression and ideas.
Don't make your entire life about hating those who are different than you.

"It's really important that people step back, look at economic history," says economist Donald Boudreaux. "They'll see that we prosper more the more economically free we are."

This is like how Trump called NAFTA “the worst Trade Deal ever made,” rebranded it as USMCA, and then called it “the best and most important trade deal ever made.”

The teacher's union openly rejects improvements to educational outcomes in favor of the exclusive patronage that it extracts from taxpayers via the state. They fear what will happen to their handouts if exposed to competition.

There are so many things to criticize Democrats over, but here you are slamming them for blocking unconstitutional spying on Americans. You absolutely suck at this.
As millions of Americans gather for large events and summer celebrations, Democrats just BLOCKED the FISA Section 702 national security statute, hampering our ability to detect foreign terrorist threats.
This comes after Democrats shut down Homeland Security.
This is a stunning and dangerous fact: Democrats are now willing to put petty politics over public safety.
Community note
The House vote to extend FISA Section 702 failed 198-218, with 19 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition. clerk.house.gov/Votes/2026221 nbcnews.com/politics/trump… politico.com/news/2026/06/1…

Next time you hear Baby Boomers wondering why younger generations are so disgusted with them be sure to remind them of Social Security.
Social Security has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. It is Social Security's overly generous benefits that are actually driving the program into insolvency. reason.com/2026/06/11/social…

We are excited to see Ned Lamont and the Democratic Party stand up for Connecticut against some of the largest special interests in the state like Sikorsky, Electric Boat, Pratt & Whitney, the University of Connecticut, Hartford Healthcare, Eversource, and public sector unions.
If they fail, come join those who are serious about this mission in the Libertarian Party.

We've got a fight on our hands! 🥊🥊
Make no mistake, we are standing up for Connecticut, and we're ready to take on corporate greed, healthcare, and the Trump administration. Learn more about the fight ahead at nedlamont.com/fight

The history of libertarian thought should be our guide. Nobody can reasonably pretend that libertarianism spawned out of Rothbard and Nozick during the 70s, thereby ignoring centuries of foundation.
Furthermore, also from Brian Doherty's excellent book, it is clear that the word "libertarian" was meant to replace and exactly be used as the term "liberal" had been used before New Deal progressives hijacked the word away from us.

I’ve heard it claimed numerous times that anarchy is the essence of libertarianism. But consider:
It’s claimed that the essence of libertarianism is anarchy. No evidence is presented for this. It is rightly claimed that anarchists are accepted within libertarianism, but this doesn’t prove its the essence anymore than the acceptance of limited government advocates proves they’re the essence.
Meanwhile, neither FEE nor Reason nor Cato are anarchist organizations. I don’t know any LP presidential nominees who were anarchists. In his book on libertarian history, Brian Dougherty discusses the five thinkers who had the greatest impact on the libertarian movement: Mises, Rand, Hayek, M. Friedman, and Rothbard. Only one was an anarchist. In his book of 65 mini biographies of people who have advanced human liberty, libertarian historian, Jim Powell, included three anarchists. Out of the three women identified as the three furies of libertarianism, none was an anarchist. The man who first used the term libertarianism for the modern movement, Dean Russel, wasn’t an anarchist. The dictionary definition of libertarianism doesn’t imply anarchy. It’s said, contrary to all this, that it makes sense to treat anarchy as the essence of libertarianism. What hasn’t been done is to show why it makes sense.

This is a perfect demonstration of how we can observe bias against libertarian ideas and thinkers. This case is precise with no appeals to bad faith assumption.
When engaging with the mainstream, libertarians need to think less like conspiracy theorists and more like the rigorous analysis shown here by Phil Magness.

If a historian on the right abused evidence in this way, they'd face career ruination.
When Boston University's Quinn Slobodian does it, he gets a Guggenheim fellowship, book awards, and a Hewlett Foundation grant.
Academia's rot runs far deeper than a simple crisis of rigor.

Who did not see this coming after Trump opened the Pandora's box of this "government voting shares" nonsense?
While Bernie Sanders frames "tech oligarchs" as modern-day robber barons, he proposes an idea commonly used by real oligarchs and authoritarians across the world to prop up illiberal regimes, illegally funnel money, and wield unchecked power over their citizens.

Nobody in Hartford is attempting to measure the success of their own gun control legislation. Serious professionals would already be doing this. Instead we are told to assume that gun control self-evidently does its job and more of it is obviously beneficial.
These kinds of people should never be trusted with power.
CT keeps leading on gun safety‼️
This morning I signed legislation banning the sale and importation of firearms that can be easily converted into automatic machine guns. Tonight I will join the Junior Newtown Action Alliance for a rally on National Gun Violence Awareness Day.

If the Libertarian Party did not exist to separate libertarians from the two party system then there would be no way to illuminate the constituency for libertarian ideas and policies. They would get lost among the mass of median voters with no way to be identified and be more easily ignored.

The FSP practices a libertarian concentration strategy — bringing people together to achieve a critical mass for regional change.
The LP practices a libertarian quarantine strategy — separating libertarians from participation in the two-party primary systems that directly impact who is actually elected into the offices of the state.
These two are not mutually exclusive strategies, but one is clearly productive and the other is counterproductive.

The market is the best urban planner that humanity can access.
I am always surprised when people imagine that the reason there was an end to mass urban transit was some kind of conspiracy.
Cars were great, and we built a LOT of roads. There was NO political appetite for the infrastructure street cars would have required. None.

This man is dangerous.
Social media companies spent years engineering apps to hook our kids.
Enough.
I signed a first-in-the-nation law: age verification, a 1-hour daily limit on algorithm-driven content for minors, and no late-night notifications. Our kids are worth more than an engagement metric.

If you think government does too much, is too expensive, and too invasive of our liberty then you should be a Libertarian voter.
If you want to make government smaller, cheaper, and less abusive then you should be a Libertarian candidate.
